The clips below showcase some of the horrors of the war.
The clip above is in Spanish, but provides the clearest clip of the parade during which Franz Ferdinand and his wife were shot. There are also clips of their clothing, the coffin, and Austrian soldiers heading for the Serbian border. (Use captions if you dare-- the English ones are kinda funny.)
